The Coming Winter and the Car.
Stove.

Public opinion is pretty well settled
as to the duty of the railroads to sub
stitute steam pipes for car-stoves on
passenger trains, but it does not appear
that the railroad companies have made
up their minds to pay attention to the
views of their customers in this matter.
In Massachusetts and New York.
where laws require the use of steam
heating, the work of substituting the
improved for the old method of heating
has not been very far advanced. The
railroads are still experimenting. :"
They are very anxious, of course, that
travel shall not involve the risk of in
cineratiOn, but they are deeply con-
cerned to have an absolutely perfect
apparatus, and so they will continue
the deadly stove in use during the
coming winter. A few roads in New
York and Massachusetts have partially
introduced steam, but as a rule the
companies are waiting on each other.

A Slaughter of Hawks.

The people of Talbot county last
week struck a more profitable occupa-
ton than raising wheat and corn.
There is local law for that county re-
quiring the county commissioners to
pay cash bounty of so cents for every
hawk killed in that county. On Tues
day the commissioners paid S461.5O for
9S3 hawks killed on Saturday in Bay
Hundred district. When all the re-
turns of the days hawk shooting are
in the number will be brought up to
1000. On Saturday flOcks of thousands
of hawks, coming from the south, pour
ed into that section and swoOped down
on farms and poultry yards. The in
habitants stopped all other business
and went to shooting hawks. Many
more would have been killed, but the
neighbOrhOod's supply of gun. powder
became exhausted.

The indianapolis NeaOs says: Last
winter a Baltimore reporter was sent
to Jail because he refused to say who
told him that the grand jury had done
certain thing. 1t was held that he
must tell or be deemed guilty of con-
tempt. Per contra, a California Judge
has just decided that a reporter on a
newspaper receives his information
professionally and need not give the
source of information. This is an
advanced ruling, and it remains to be
seen if it will become general"

And orchard bloom and lawns displayed,

Where rose-leaves feck the dewy grass,
The queen and all her ladies pass.

Her voice is sweetest of them all.

for saving the potato crop, which will

sleep a. a ,Tecl,anic.1 op.ratIon.

a writer on the philosophy of sleep de-
ciares that sleep is prevented by an ex-
cess of blood in the brain and proposes
as remedy to pump the blood back
from the brain by peculiar method of
breathing, for which directions are
given as follows: Having assumed the
usual posture of sleep, the person is to
inhale slowly and steadily long breaths,
devoting the whole attention to making
the inhalations and calculations exactly
the same length-the length to be much
greater than that of ordinary breathing,
although not sufficient to disturb the cir
culation by working the lungs to the
utmost capacity.
In support of this theory reference is
made to the feeling of faintness pro-
duced by filling the lungs with all the
air they will hold and then expelling it,
repeating the operation rapidly three or
four times; the resulting faintness is at
tributd to the withdrawal of the blood
from the brain. and the same effect, sub
stantially, follows any sudden and ex-
treme emotion. So violent a disturbance
of the SUSTAIN, however, is not advised
for the purpose here sought, but n steady
and gradual diversion of the blood from
the brain to the lungs and body.-Ex-

But few of those who have not been in
Paris on the LIST of November have any
idea of the general manner in which the
Day of the Dead" is celebrated by all
Paris.
The practice of laying flowers and
wreaths of immortelIes on the graves of

the direction of the principal cemeteries,

periences of the afternoon. The crowd
was something enormous, and there was
scarcely a grave but that had its
wreath, with women piously kneeling or
men standing in absorbed contemplation
over the spot where reposed all that was
left of some one who had been loved and
lost.
OF course the tombs of celebrated men
attracted the greatest attention. In the

family was naturally surrounded by
crowds of those who revered the great
author-and what Frenchman does not?
Near the ''rond point" of the Avenue
Delavigne in the same cemetery are
grouped the graves of Balzac, De Nerval,
NOdier, Souyestre, Soulie, Buloy, Barye
and Delacroix, the latter in magnificent
mausoleum copied from that of Scipio
Africanus. 1t was to the last resting
place of these men of genius that the
crowd first turned on entering the GENE
terry after having stopped at the ever
popular tomb of Abelard and Heloise.
At Montmartre it is again the men of
genius who are most honored. Theophile
Gautier, Merv, Goylan, Murger, the Yer

The Only Way 70 Conquer Dys-
persia.

It is perfectly preposterous to intro
duce pepsin and other artificial solvents
into the stomach, in the expectation that
they will assist digestion by acting on
the food itself They will not. Nor is
it possible thus to overcome dyspepsia.
The only way to conquer that disorder,
and prevent the numerous diseases and
disabilities which it assuredly provokes,
is to renew the activity of gastric action
by strengthening the stomach. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most
inveterate forms of Indigestion by re-
storing vitality to the alimentary or
gans. and those which are tributary to
them. The liver, the bowels, the kid
neys and the nerves, no less than the
stomach, experience the invigorative eff.
fects OF that standard tonic, which pos.
sesses Alternative properties that greatly
enhance its beneficial influence, and
give permanence to its effects which
they would not otherwise possess.

In mentioning Niodieska's exquisite art
am reminded that her only child, son,
has not inherited any of his mothers
talent, and it seems to be the exception
TO the rule when great actors children
follow their parents profession. In the case
nf the Booths, Warrens, and Jeffersons
the hereditary talent lasted for three gen.
erations. Which is about the time that q
large fortune remains in one family in
America. Edwin Booths daughter, Mrs.
Grossman, might be expected to follow

Mary Devlin, as well US her father, were
born in the profession.
OF all the young Jeffersons, and there
are many, only the eldest son has given
any evidence of possessing any dramatic
ability. He manages for his father, and
occasionally is trusted with some minor
part. Lawrence Barrett's two daughters
have no stage aspirations. They are con-
tent to admire their talented father. Mag
